… Yes, the country faces perplexing challenges, which Washington seems unable or unwilling to resolve. I would never tell denizens of a distressed factory town to shut up and count their blessings.

However, the U.S. economy, much healthier than it was in the recent past, is outperforming most of the industrial world; wages, at last, are ticking up. Trump’s legions do not consist entirely or even mostly of laid-off manufacturing workers and their friends and neighbors — that’s mathematically impossible.

In manufacturing-heavy Indiana, whose 5 percent unemployment rate, like that of the nation, is less than half what it was in December 2009, Trump won 60 percent of those making more than $100,000 per year and beat Cruz handily among college grads….

Once again, I think you’re trying to categorize “Trump supporters” into neat little groups which fit your imagined description. I actually know Trump supporters whose annual pensions (indiv or hshld) exceed $60K and that’s not even including their “free” or “nearly free” healthplans, “free” Medicare Part B and D plans OR their other assets.
